Here I was, the community fair with only 30 minutes before it closes. Although I was not gonna stay long, the only reason we're here is because I lost my mom's debit card earlier while getting lemonade at one of the food trucks and she wanted to come back to see if anyone might've found and returned it.

I was walking around alone, Polaroid camera in hand. I took a couple pictures of the Faris wheel and food fair stands but none of them came out well. Standing in the middle of the busy feild there I was looking down at the all black photos with a white flimsy frame.

"Hey uh-" I turn around to see a tall boy with brown fluffy hair looking down at me, I must've looked like an idiot with flower face paint and glitter over my cheeks. "Do you think I could take a picture with your Polaroid?" He titled his head as if he was a confused puppy.

"Um yeah sure!" I say happily and hand the camera to him "okay so basically youre gonna point it to wherever you wanna get a picture of and press that button to take it" he took the camera looked at it for a second before attempting, the funny this was even with my dementation he was holding it wrong and didn't even look through the lense.

He took the picture and smiled seeming to be proud of himself, although his hand was covering where the picture comes out. I tell him this with a luagh and his proud aura faded into an embarrassed one.

Shaking my head I take the camera from him and hand him the photo. "Thanks.." he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah for sure bro" I smile and walk away. Before he could even wave at me I take out my phone and open me and my bestfriends Instagram DMS.

Today 9:05pm

I think i just fell inlove.

SO I WAS AT THE FAIR RIGHT, AND THIS CUTE ASS BOY COMES UP TO ME AND IS LIKE "yo can I take a picture with your Polaroid?" And I'm all like "yeah sure" and taught him out to do it

YEAH I KNOW ITS BAD

SO YOU DIDNT GET HIS SNAP AND YOU CALLED HIM BRO
I AM NEVER ASKING YOU FOR LOVE ADVICE.

GOD I DONT EVEN KNOW HIS NAME

Shaking my head I get into the car with my mom. We start to drive out of the parking lot when I see him again, Polaroid pictures in hand. He was on call with someone and was looking down at the small photo with a smile. My stomach was doing cartwheels. Right before I look away he turned back to him and we make direct eye contact. I can feel my face burn up on spot and he waves. Me being the complete idiot I am, I turn the other way and look at my mom.

"Any luck with your card?" I make conversation as she drives away from the park.

"No but it's alright I can just shut it off through my phone. Did you have fun while I was gone?" The scene of what just happened in the past 10 minutes plays through my head.

"Yeah I guess you could say that" I shrug with a smile looking down at my pink Polaroid camera.
